automatico Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Very good job! I have a pretty good 1016 dial. Now you have the case. I see another project in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendota Explorer Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Wow. It sure looks like the only way to go with a 1016 build is this case, his bezel, and then find a good dial and handset for your movement of choice. Oh, and a crown and plexi. ;-) Edited February 6, 2015 by Mendota Explorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydenM Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I think there is going to be an influx of the old 1016 cases on the sales forum soon. I'm tempted to redo my 1016 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'm glad this attempt has met with the collective's approval! Serial number requests can be accommodated and although my "purpose in life" (thanks, M) has been a decent explorer I can probably do other models as long as I can find some examples. I do foresee problems making some of the vintage engraving looking hand done, though... This case is not perfect but I think it's as close as I can get without making it cost too much. It would be really nice to have a nice $20k CNC machining center that would take a chunk of 316 and turn out a finished case with the touch of a button!
